Description: Up for sale: Vintage 1920's 77 Poker Chip Miniature Travel Set Leather Case Bakelite Clay Plastic Estate sale find! Beautifully preserved three color miniature travel poker chip set in a folding leather travel case. No maker's mark on the case or chips, we dated this set to the 1920's or 1930's in line with the rest of the estate finds. The leather case shows substantial wear and delamination especially at the edges and corners, please review all the detail images. The case interior also shows some scuffs and wear, typical of age and use. The chips are in fine vintage shape, there are no cracked chips. All the chips show wear, scuffs and scratches from the many decades of gameplay. The color on the cobalt blue and fire red chips remains vibrant! As we place some of our items with film and television period productions (who value authentic patina, distress and age) we have left this poker set in the original, as-found condition. The chips and case could use a thorough cleaning if they are to be used and displayed in the home. The chips seem to be plastic as they don't have the feel and weight of clay. We used a few methods to test for bakelite and could not reach a consensus. We are listing them as plastic and if they turn out to be bakelite then the buyer wins this round!
